Taco Bell isn’t shy about cranking out new tacos, but not all of them deserve your late-night cravings. Some are absolute legends, while others feel like they lost a bet in the test kitchen. Thanks to this ranking of Taco Bell tacos, we’ve sorted the bold from the bland. You’ll want to know what’s worth the drive-thru detour—and what’s better left behind. Taco roulette just got easier.
1. Nacho Doritos Taco Loco
The shell did more than hold the filling—it stole the show. It had crunch, flavor, and attitude, turning snack food into dinner. You couldn’t eat this one without leaving a trail of crumbs and orange fingerprints. It’s still the gold standard when people talk about memorable fast food tacos.
2. Chicken Soft Taco
This one was smoother than expected, thanks to that creamy ranch and crisp veggies. It felt like something you’d throw together at home—if your fridge was well-stocked and you weren’t in a rush. For a soft taco, it actually felt fresh. Few fast food options nailed that balance.
3. Crunchy Taco
Every bite turned into a mini explosion of lettuce and cheese. It wasn’t fancy, but it knew exactly what it was doing. This was the taco you handed a kid, a newbie, or someone who just wanted the basics. It held up then, and honestly, it still does.
4. Crunchy Taco Supreme
Take a regular taco, then add a scoop of sour cream and a few tomato chunks—and boom, it’s a whole different vibe. The shell stayed the same, but it felt more grown up. It wasn’t about being flashy—it just understood the assignment. Old-school fast food fans still miss this level of effort.
5. Cool Ranch Doritos Taco Loco
The seasoning on this one didn’t hold back. It hit you with coolness up front, then gave way to spice and garlic that stuck around. For anyone bored of basic taco shells, this felt like a small rebellion. It made flavor the main character.
6. Fiery Doritos Taco Loco
Bright red, unapologetic, and just spicy enough to feel brave without needing a drink. That chili-lime combo punched hard but still let the beef shine. It was loud in every way. People didn’t just like it—they bragged about eating it.
7. Soft Taco
Nothing crispy, nothing fancy—just a warm tortilla wrapped around familiar flavors. This one didn’t ask for attention, and that’s why it worked. It was easy to eat, especially when you weren’t trying to wear your food. A solid pick for those who knew what they liked.
8. Nacho Doritos Taco Loco Supreme
That extra sour cream and tomato took the taco from snacky to meal-worthy. The shell still snapped with every bite, but now the filling felt complete. It didn’t just look intense—it backed it up. One of the few fast food items that came through every time.
9. Double Decker Taco Supreme
Combining soft and crunchy shells wasn’t just for show—it worked. The beans glued everything together so you could take real bites without disaster. Add the Supreme toppings, and it felt like someone actually thought this one through. It was clever and filling without trying too hard.
10. Fiery Doritos Taco Loco Supreme
The spice didn’t stop at the shell—this one was stacked. You had beef, crisp veggies, and just enough sour cream to cool it all down. It tasted like someone cared about layering, not just heat. That balance is rare in fast food.
11. Double Decker Taco
No frills, just function. The bean layer made sure your taco didn’t fall apart before you were done. It wasn’t flashy, but it got the job done. People who liked this one usually had a favorite seat at the table and stuck with what worked.
12. Steak Soft Taco
It wasn’t trying to be bold—it just gave you decent steak and a soft tortilla. That chew gave it personality without needing extra toppings. It felt a bit more grown up, especially compared to everything else on the board. You knew what you were biting into.
13. Soft Taco Supreme
They added the extras, but the base couldn’t quite carry it. The shell stayed soft, but everything inside felt a little too loose. It was decent, just not memorable. Other Supreme versions had more bite.
14. Crunchwrap Supreme
Great shape, weird payoff. The fillings looked solid, but the texture got lost in that big wrap. It didn’t always hold the crunch it promised. A cool concept that didn’t always hold up under pressure.
15. Quesadillas
Jalapeño sauce had the potential, but it was hit or miss. Sometimes it came through and saved the whole thing; other times, it went MIA. When it worked, it felt like a win. When it didn’t, it was just melted cheese in a folded tortilla.
